Review Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn (Switch)
Big Trouble In Shaq’s China
Back in 1994 Shaq-Fu made quite a splash when it landed on 16-bit home and 8-bit portable consoles. On paper it seemed like a great plan: use Shaquille O'Neal’s star power to get a slice of the booming one-on-one fighting market. When the game made it to market, the 16-bit version wasn't that bad, but it didn't stack...

About The Game
A vessel floating down a river contains an orphaned baby boy. He is found and adopted. As he grows, he learns of his true identity and destiny of greatness. Thus is the premise of two of the greatest stories of our time, but that is where the similarities end. Now we're not saying that "Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn" is better than the Good Book; that would be blasphemy. But please consider the following questions:
- Does the Bible feature BASKETBALL LEGEND SHAQUILLE O’NEAL AS AN ASS-KICKING WU XING MASTER?
- Can the Holy Writ boast A DOPE RAP FEATURING THE BIG ARISTOTLE HIMSELF?
- Does the Book of Books provide the EXCITEMENT AND HILARITY OF BATTLING BOSSES WHO ARE PARODIES OF FAMOUS DOUCHEBAGS?
- Do any of the conflicts depicted in The Sacred Testimony qualify as EPIC BOSS BATTLES THAT YOU WON’T BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY PUT INTO A GAME?
"Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn" DOES contain all of those thrilling features and many more! So buy it. It's pretty cheap.

So this is the free game for those that purchased NBA Playgrounds early...
I wonder what it's like.
I really wouldn't recommend this game, especially at full price. (I got it for free, and I still feel ripped off)
It's fun for a little while at first, but it gets old really quickly, and there's practically zero replay value. It's not one of the worst games ever made, like its predecessor has a reputation for; but there are so many far better games to play, on Switch or otherwise, that there's just no reason to waste your life on this kind of mediocrity.
One of those games that could easily pass you by but it’s actually a great game. Influenced by the likes of streets of rage, you get to bounce balls and whack the bad guys as you take Shaq through each level. Full of variety and colour, this is well worth taking the time to play.
